branding Zaga's cattle

was still such a normal thing

that a fellow never realized
Ebm
that the use of this practical tool
Eb
in twenty years would be an exception
Bbm
Db
and not the common rule.
Eb
Fm
The wives were all at the cabin visiting
Db
Ebm
an d cooking a feast
that'd be served up on long
Db
tables with benches
when the sun had moved from the east.

Everyone else was down at the trap
Eb

in the dust and the wind and the sun,
Eb
in unwashed Levi's
Ebm
Eb
and sweat -stained hats,
Db
Eb
teaching me work can be fun.

From the west, a rider came,

that was romantic as hell.

He rode up to the herd

to visit with Fred,
and I learned his

rest his horses,
mend a sawbuck.

and had washed at the creek
and was hunting some shade
and a drink

And then just stood there
Db
and squinted and blinked.
Well, Fred pulled out a key,
threw it to Tom.

insurance and such.
They broke all the dishes.
They've shot out her phone.
Eb
Db
Eb
We just can't be here that much."

blinking his eyes.
I recognize now,
that's the cue that he gives,
Eb
Db
just be fore he philosophizes.
Eb

Lord rest his soul,
Eb

took a homestead in what's
now Arkansas.

was to dig a deep hole
and take some lumber

Eb
and built him a three -holer privy,
one that'd stand through the good
Db
times and bad.
And for thirty years, Fred,
Ebm

he never locked the door once.

Then he turned the place
Db
over to Dad.

Then through the Depression,
Dad raised us kids.

didn't have a dime. time.

But unlocked it stood there,
Eb
through famine and flood,
Db

even through Green Apple time.

Now my brother runs that outfitting house
for thirty years,
and that outhouse is still used regular,
Db
Eb
Db
unlocked, I have little fear.
Eb
About now, Fred says, Tom,
don't you see it's really not that big a deal,
it's just that these van
Db
dals from town'll
tear up anything that ain't handy to steal.
Eb
But Tom just kept squintin' and blankin'
Eb
and scratchin' his head neath his hat.
We were all on our toes to hear what he'd say next,
Db
and he's relishin' that.
Db
And he looked at the ground
he'd been towin',
said, Fred, I'd bet my good
Db
horseshoe and anvil
that in the seventy -five years
that that outhouse has stood there,
no one ever stole as much as one handful.
